Nathan's Insights

My second international trip back in 1998 was with my mother (Helen), sister (Kara) and nephew (Andrew) made possible using Qantas staff travel discount.   We traveled between 31 October 1998 and 20 November 1998 (21 days) visiting just USA (with a transit in Auckland, New Zealand).

To do this we flew on four flights (across two travel legs) and one airlines (Qantas). We were flying for a total distance of 26,222 km and 32 hours 10 minutes.

2,644 km Melbourne to Auckland – 3 hours 35 minutes (Qantas Economy)
Transit time: 1 hours 10 minutes
10,467 km Auckland to Los Angeles – 12 hours 10 minutes (Qantas Economy)
